Your EM5625 wireless modem allows you to do the following
(subject to feature availability), without using a wireline phone
or network:
•Connect to the Internet, VPN and corporate networks
•Send and receive e-mail
•Connect to a dial-up service
•Send and receive SMS messages
•Make and receive phone calls
Your EM5625 connects to wireless CDMA networks, providing
data transmission speeds up to 2.4 Mbps.

CDMA networks
The EM5625 provides a variety of connectivity features,
depending on your account:
•BroadbandAccess
known as 1xEV-DO, supports Internet connections with
data rates up to 2.4 Mbps (downlink from the network),
and 153.6 kbps (uplink to the network). Actual speed
depends on the network conditions.
•NationalAccess high-speed packet data, sometimes
known as 1X, supports Internet connections with data
rates up to 153.6 kbps (downlink from the network) and
76.8 kbps (uplink to the network). Actual speed depends
on the network conditions.
•Circuit switched (dial-up) data, using the earlier CDMA
IS-95 specification, supports dial-up data connections at
rates up to 14.4 kbps.

•Quick 2 NetSM provides a simplified way to dial into an
Internet connection (using circuit switched data).
•SMS (Short Message Service) allows you to send and
receive short text messages using the EM5625.
•Vo i ce calling, including E911 (Phase I) support for
emergency services.
Network account and coverage
To use the network, you require a Verizon Wireless account.
The area in which you can obtain CDMA network service is
called the coverage area. To obtain coverage you must:
•Be in proximity to a CDMA network, operating in a
frequency band supported by the modem.
•Have an account that allows you to access that network.
You can make phone calls (subject to feature availability)
wherever you have coverage and the network accepts your
account.
In areas where there is CDMA coverage but no VZAccess
(NationalAccess or BroadbandAccess) service, you can use the
EM5625 for dial-up and Quick 2 Net connections (subject to
feature availability). Where VZAccess is implemented, you can
make NationalAccess or BroadbandAccess high-speed packet
data connections. To determine available services, check the
Connection status area icons.
With roaming service, you can use your account on networks
outside of the Verizon Wireless VZAccess coverage area.
Roaming
An icon in the Connection status area of Watcher indicates
roaming.
You are in a preferred roaming area. If this icon is flashing,
you are in a non-preferred roaming area, and you may not be
able to complete your calls.
You are within your own service provider's network.
You can configure a Service Alert to notify you when your
coverage changes.

Watcher overview
Watcher for the EM5625 wireless modem is the application
that allows you to manage and monitor the connection
between the EM5625 and the CDMA network.
Without running Watcher, you can make a VZAccess highspeed data connection simply by launching whatever application you want to use (such as your web browser or e-mail
application). Prerequisites: you must have previously enabled,
in Watcher, “Always-on” for the high-speed connection, and
•(If you have enabled auto-launch:) WiFi coverage is either
not available, or is available but no WiFi profiles have been
set to autoconnect.
However, to make use of other features of the EM5625, you
must run Watcher.
Watcher also allows you to manage and monitor connections
with a WiFi network adapter.
